CometMan Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 That engine is probably way more than he can handle, the car would look like that on it's own pretty quickly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Cut the guy a little slack.... usually when a Camaro owner can scrape up 150k, he spends it on spicing up his meth lab, not the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dann Tier Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I surely don't see $150,000 there. I don't mind an old primered car or a little bit of patina as they call it. But this car isn't a rat rod. He just ruined a new car in my opinion. KenAgree, its not even a "rod" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrux Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I don't get the whole artificially distressing thing. Why not just wrap it like they did with the General Maintenance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freshawk Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I cant admit to being a "rat rod" fan , but this just seems way off the "rat" mark. it looks more like a hop up shop got lazy when the paint guy quit his job... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I don't understand the whole "rat" look thing. A few years ago, it was super trendy in the VW community to take your Jetta or GTI hood and rust it up. Leave the rest of the car, but rust the hood. Wha?!Making something look old? I just don't get it. I hate it on guitars too. Fender and many other manufactuers offer relic'd guitars. New guitars that are pre-beat for you. Forget that. Every dent and ding and scratch on the guitar tells a story. Write your own stories, don;t buy one from a factory. Now having said that, I do like a patina. People that take an old truck or and old car, hot rod it, restomod it, but leave the patina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Bartrop Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Personally, I think you could just park a new Camaro in a bad neighbourhood. I guess it's the same mindset that paid premium prices for faded and distressed jeans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
